What were japans attitudes during World War 2?
Japanese soldiers in World War 2 were cruel to their enemies. The Chinese still resent Japanese today for what they did during World War 2. The Chinese government wanted Japan to admit their crimes and apologize for what they've done, but they are still waiting today. The crimes committed by Japanese soldiers in China were briefly known among the Western world. Unlike the Germans, who admitted and apologized to the Jews for the atrocities they committed, won the forgiveness of many people. In the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, the German Prime Minister apologized and said the Germans felt shameful for what they've done. The Japanese government did nothing of this sort. The Japanese history text books edited out some of the most horrific massacres that occurred, while the Germans forbade the exclusion of the Holocaust.

What were the major results for Japan in World War 2?
Funny you asked. Some accomplishments of Japan in WW2 are: -Hatred and disgust from its neighbours. -Killing of millions of innocent civilians. -Ruined its reputation and respect in the world. -First country to receive atomic bombs. (no offence to the Japanese people, but its government should be ashamed of themselves. First they teach their students to hate other races[this was before and during ww2], which resulted mass massacres of innocent people. Second, after the war they denied and tried to hide all that crime. I doubt the average Japanese today know what really happened in WW2 and how cruel and inhuman Japan was.)
Did Japanese land on Oahu during World War 2?
Yes, in several places.
The Philippines, Guam, Wake Island, and several other Pacific islands were occupied during the initial stage of the war. All were protectorates or possessions of the US at the time.
As part of the Battle of Midway, the Japanese invaded several of the Aleutian Islands (the island chain extending south off of Alaska), occupying them for 2 years before being driven off. Alaska (like Hawaii) was not a state at this time, but merely a territory.
Several Japanese planes accidentally landed on unoccupied Aleutian islands in multiple cases. Most of these were captured, which provided excellent intelligence on the performance of the Japanese aircraft.
If one talks about the United States proper (which at the time consisted of only the continental 48 states), then, no, no Japanese soldier or aircraft landed on them.

Pearl Harbor was a classic example of betrayal between countries. Japan attacked the United States after denying any plan of attack. This event was best described as "A date which will live in infamy", many Americans were killed in this attack.

When were Japanese Americans sent to Relocation Camps?
The reason relocation for Japanese Americans was put to use. Was due to the fact of the bombing Pearl Harbor.

But these relocation camps were meant for holding people until the war with Japan was over. Not for exterminating a race from existence.
